Let’s Learn
Lecturette
Art is something that is perennially around us. Some people may deny having to
do with the arts but it is indisputable that life presents us with many forms of an
opportunities for communication with the arts. A bank manager choosing what tie wear
together with his shirt and shoes, a politician shuffling her music track while comfortably
sitting, a student marveling at the intricate designs of a medieval cathedral are all manifest
concern for values that are undeniably, despite tangentially, artistic.
The word art comes from the ancient Latin, ARS which means a craft or specialized
form of skill, like carpentry or surgery (Colllingwood, 1938).
Art then suggest the capacity to produce an intended result from carefully planned steps
or method. When a man wants to build a house, he plans meticulously to get to what the
prototype promises and he execute the steps to produce the said structures, then he is
engage in art. The ancient world did not have any conceived notion of art in the same
way that we do now. To them art only meant using the bare hands to produce something
that will be useful to one’s day to day life.
Ars in Medieval Latin came to mean something different. It meant any special form of
book-learning, such as grammar or logic, magic or astrology (Collingwood,1938).

Assumptions of Art
Art is Universal
In every country and in every generation, there is always art. Oftentimes, people
feel that what is considered artistic are only those which have been made long time ago.
This is a misconception. Age is not a factor in determining art. An “art is not good
because it is old, but old because it is good” (Dudley et al. , 1960).
Art will always be present because human beings will always express themselves
and delight in these expressions. Men will continue to use art while art persist and
never gets depleted.
Art is not Nature

Art is man’s expression of his reception of nature. Art is man’s way of interpreting
nature. Art is not nature. Art is made by man, whereas nature is a given around us. It is
based on an individual’s subjective experience of nature. Artists are not expected to
duplicate nature just as even scientist with their elaborate laboratories cannot make
nature.
Art involves experience
For most people art does not require a full definition. Art is just experience. By
experience, we mean the ‘actual doing of something’ (Dudley et al. , 1960). When one
say that he has an experience of something, he often means that he knows what that
something is about. Art is always an experience. Unlike fields of knowledge that involve
data, art is known by experiencing.
A work of art then cannot be abstracted from actual doing. In order to know what
an artwork is, we have to sense it, see or hear it.
Finally, one should also underscore that every experience with art is accompanied
by some emotion. One either likes or dislikes, agrees or disagrees that a work of art is
beautiful. Feelings and emotions are concrete proofs that the artwork has been
experienced.
